Portugal vs France prediction
Neither team have truly convinced at the tournament so far, so it really is all to play for on Friday night.
A France player is yet to score from open play after four games, relying on one penalty and two own goals thus far, and the Selecao defence, including Pepe, is proving a tough nut to crack.
Portugal will pose a bigger threat than any team France have faced so far and, unless Didier Deschamps can get Les Bleus firing, they face an early exit.
Both squads have talent in abundance, but only one have shown even flashes of brilliance.
Portugal to win, after extra time.
